This included a significant redesign as well. We were under a time crunch but Marylou was able to get all 4 floors completely furnished and beautifully pulled together on schedule and on budget. She coordinated all the deliveries and installs amidst construction without a hitch. She is lovely and pleasant to work with and her integrity is impeccable. She puts her clients' needs first and goes well beyond her responsibilities to make things as smooth as possible. She also really listens to her clients to make sure she designs a home that is what the client wants. I am very grateful for the beautiful home she created and know that she will be my first call for future projects. **Comment from Marylou Fraser Interiors:** > V, > What a privilege to be entrusted with the design of your home!

Marylou created a design which utilizes the space perfectly! The room is put together in every detail, yet not stuffy, but inviting and comfortable. We loved working with her. Marylou is professional, kind, easy to work with, and has insightful design ideas. Her forte is working with patterns and color, yet she creates a beautiful space with function in mind. And she was able to negotiate the unpredictable challenges we encountered during the pandemic. We look forward to working with her again. **Comment from Marylou Fraser Interiors:** > T E Thank you for your thoughtful review.

STAYING ON BUDGET!!! > > I recommend her wholeheartedly. > > For additional context, we unfortunately had to move just a few months after the project was completed.

Marylou works tirelessly to make sure every client is completely thrilled with their new space. She listens carefully and is detail oriented and organized to ensure the design experience is pulled off as smoothly as possible.

We completely rehabbed 5 baths as well as a master bath/closet and an entertainment room. replaced the knob and tube and put in all new ceiling lights and sconces throughout to bring it back to to its original majesty. Not only did she have the vision but understood our needs. She never tried to lead us somewhere we did not want to go or try to up sell us. Marylou was cognizant of our budget despite the daunting task of accomplishing a large reno on a short time line. She is great with the big vision and the small details (i.e., picture hanging, curtains, paint and fabric colors, etc) as needed. She also coordinated our contractors as we did not have a general contractor (we hired two contractors to complete the reno faster). We would recommend her a thousand times over. **Comment from Marylou Fraser Interiors:** > Hello James I can’t thank you enough for your very kind review.

Within a few minutes of walking into our living room, she had a design in mind to transform it. Her furniture, custom built in bookcases, and paint color choices were all spot on. Also, her custom window treatments turned out beautiful and tied in nicely with the colors in the room. Family and friends cannot believe it is the same room. Thank you Marylou for everything! **Comment from Marylou Fraser Interiors:** > Glenn and Tammy > You are so welcome!!! I loved working with you.

She redesigned my kitchen/family room into a cohesive and beautiful space. **Comment from Marylou Fraser Interiors:** > Thank you Lynn! So great working together. Enjoy your beautiful new space. **★★★★★ — Leslie Coney, Nov. 2017** > Marylou has been a huge help in transforming our new house in Lexington to a special and beautiful home. I found her name via Houzz and hired her to design and decorate my living room. I had already purchased a couch and love seat, but was stumped as to what else to do in the room. The room is a bit awkward, being large, with a fireplace against wall that is flanked by open doorways leading to an office. There seemed to be a lot of unused space in the room making it difficult to decorate. Marylou listened to my desires and worked with me to achieve a space that is both beautiful and comfortable. I love it and I loved working with Marylou!! Based on the success with my living room, I’ve asked Marylou design our family room space. I’m excited to hear her ideas and to get moving with a transformation of that space including new furniture and new wall color. I have complete confidence in her guidance and highly recommend her design services. **Comment from Marylou Fraser Interiors:** > Leslie, > Thank you for this thoughtful review! Looking forward to your new family room, a place that you and your lovely family can enjoy for years to come! **★★★★★ — Jim Boutin, Nov. 2017** > Marylou is a consummate professional.

She created a perfect layout for the room to make it both functional and inviting. She designed beautiful window treatments and corresponding pillows and helped me pick out an area rug to tie the entire room together. She listened closely to my ideas, preferences and concerns. I felt like she really understood what I was looking for in redesigning the room. She is very financially savvy and helped me stay within budget. I never felt any pressure to do more than what was discussed and I always felt comfortable giving her feedback. My family and I could not be happier with how the room turned out and I hope to work with Marylou for future projects. **Comment from Marylou Fraser Interiors:** > Hello Taryn > Thank you for your thoughtful review! It was wonderful working with you. I am thrilled that you are enjoying your new space. > Marylou **★★★★★ — Denise Singer, Dec. 2016** > We recently had our living room and kitchen decorated by Marylou Fraser of Fraser Interiors and we couldn't be happier. > > She brought in fabrics, furniture, colors and accessories that are both inspiring and beautiful. > > We had worked with Marylou in the past and we trust her vision and capabilities to provide what we love! > > She is a professional with much talent and confidence.

Once you have her do one room, you keep finding more things for her to do. She is professional, personal, and patient. She listens to your ideas, but always surprises with ideas that I could never imagine. She is also cost conscious and provides a range of options in case you fall in love with an item and/or idea. She has beautified my home and life in so many ways. Every year I try to think of something for her to update and/or refresh. **Comment from Marylou Fraser Interiors:** > Debbie, > Thank you for your kind words! I always enjoy working with you! **★★★★★ — mpellini, May 2016** > Marylou took our unused and unloved living room and made it into a stylish, peaceful oasis that we use every day! I was not convinced that we would ever use that room since our family room sits just off the living room and has the television. Boy was I wrong. We now congregate more in the living room than any other room because Marylou made it so comfortable. > > We will be using Marylou in the future to redecorate our girls bedrooms. **Comment from Marylou Fraser Interiors:** > Thank you for your kind words!

Marylou's passion for her business truly shines through in the work she does. She is not only great at her job, but also one of the nicest and most easy-going people I've ever had the pleasure to work with! If you're looking for professional design for your space, Marylou is the person to go to.

It was a pleasure working with you! **★★★★★ — Susan Kenney, Nov. 2015** > Marylou is amazingly talented! She transformed my home and was such a delight to work with - I can be extremely demanding. As a real estate agent, I look at houses all day, but I could not figure out how to make my own home have that special "something". Now, people come into my home and always tell me how beautiful, but welcoming my home feels. I have referred Marylou to many of my clients and they have all been just as pleased. She is incredibly creativity and has an unbelievable eye for design. **Comment from Marylou Fraser Interiors:** > Susan, Thank you so much for your kind words.
